The women who worked at a spa where New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft allegedly solicited a prostitute were in "sexual servitude," police say.
The Jupiter Police Department on Friday detailed the conclusion of a eight-month long prostitution ring investigation. As part of it, they uncovered that at the Orchids of Asia Day Spa, women lived and were not allowed to leave, reports USA Today. Arrest records say the women were in "sexual servitude;" investigators are probing whether the spa was involved in human trafficking.
